The Magpies Host the Blues

The Magpies recently recovered admirably from the disappointing derby reverse to Sunderland, salvaging a thrilling 2-1 conquest over Fulham to march into the EFL Cup semi-finals during the week's midpoint, courtesy of Lewis Miley's eleventh-hour winner.

The Magpies will be determined to build upon that momentum with an English Premier League victory against the West Londoners, and a return to St James' Park will certainly fortify their belief. After all: they have won five, drawn one and lost just two of their eight home EPL matches, while they have also dominated all of their last four home meetings with Chelsea.

While Chelsea are strong on the road this term, collecting the most impressive points tally away from home in the league (a robust return), the Blues have been disappointing in recent weeks. With a difficult trip to St James' Park, we are supporting the home side to win.

Etihad Encounter

Erling Haaland's remarkable goalscoring legacy since arriving at Manchester City has continued this season, with the striker already accumulating 23 goals in 22 games across all competitions, with finding the net three in his last two fixtures.

Haaland has been remarkably prolific against West Ham for the Citizens, registering nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. Given such exceptional history, we are backing the sublime forward to extend his astonishing record with a further goal.

North London Receives Merseyside

Hugo Ekitike made a sensational start to life at Liverpool before suffering a barren period throughout October and November, but the French forward has rediscovered goalscoring ways in December.

A brace against Leeds United was complemented with a further brace in Liverpool's comprehensive 2-0 triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion, blessing the striker with four goals in his last two English Premier League matches.

As Liverpool are set to take on a Tottenham Hotspur side that have been particularly poor at home—mustering just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also leaked a alarming 21 times in just 16 EPL matches—we are anticipating the Reds to have considerable attacking success.

Given the goalscoring form of Ekitike, we are backing the striker to get on the scoresheet in this one.

Midlands Showdown

Unai Emery's side have lost just one of their last 32 encounters at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also claimed all of their last nine games in all competitions, endowing them with plenty of confidence as they prepare to face an extremely unpredictable Manchester United team.

While the Red Devils have lost just one of their last 10 encounters, Ruben Amorim's side have claimed only two of their last seven EPL matches, and they are heading into this one off the back of a wild 4-4 draw with Bournemouth—exposing their structural weaknesses.

Despite the fact that Manchester United are expected to give Aston Villa a robust test, notably in defence as the Red Devils wield the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals scored, we expect Aston Villa will weather the storm and claim the victory.
